1 (15 ounce) can salmon, undrained
1 egg
1 sleeve of saltine crackers, crushed
3/4 cup cooking oil (I use canola oil) for cooking

Heat the oil in a large skillet. Combine the rest of the ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Using your hands mix the ingredients together and shape into patties.

Place the patties in the hot oil and brown on each side. Turn the heat down and continue cooking on low for about 20 minutes turning often. Let cook until the patties are brown and crusty.

Note: You can add onion, green pepper and some people roll theirs in cornmeal but the only way my family likes them is the recipe posted above. These salmon patties are great leftover and made into a sandwich with ketchup or serve them with my Country Fried Potatoes below. Enjoy!



We Southerners love fried potatoes. My twin daughters can’t get enough of their Southern Mamma’s fried potatoes. We can eat them for three meals a day and love them for breakfast. I grew up on this dish and so did my children. A classic that can’t be beat when it comes to good comfort food. We think the bacon drippings make this recipe.

10 medium potatoes, peeled, washed and sliced. (I always fry a lot because we like them leftover. You can cut down on the amount of the potatoes)
3/4 to 1 cup oil (I use Canola)
1 medium onion, peeled and chopped
1 1/2 teaspoons minced garlic
salt and pepper (I like a lot of pepper and not much salt)
2 to 3 tablespoons bacon grease (optional)

Have your grease and oil hot. Add potatoes, onion, garlic, pepper. Fry uncovered for about 45 minutes turning down stove after potatoes have browned and cooking until done. Remove from stove, add salt.

Makes about 8 to 10 servings. Enjoy!

Note: You can also add green peppers and any kind of meat like ham or smoked sausage to this recipe. Fried potatoes are good leftover and reheated. If you have never had cold fried potatoes on a biscuit with mustard, try it, you’ll probably like it!
